Allen Ogard, Isabelle Ecklund, Duane Olson These three have the highest scholastic averages for the Senior class. CLASS HISTORY In the spring of 1937, a group of boys and girls decided it would be fun to go to Kinder- garten. With Mrs. Bang to help them, they learned the art of getting along fairly well with one another. Remember how the boys teased Betty N., and how she would always go home crying? And the rugs they brought so they could rest when studying became too tedious? In the September of 1937, these fourteen boys and girls entered the first grade. Their first year went surprisingly fast and so did their second grade. The third year they found that school wasn't all pleasure as they had anticipated. Ronald Rasmussen joined the class that year. The fourth grade went smoothly. No addi- tions as to members of the class, but Geography and History were added to the list of studies. Fifth grade came along with Jack Helsing and Evelyn Kroslius joining our group. The sixth grade appeared and also Jean Hubbell, Beverly Roesch, and Bette Tamke. This was the last year in the grade school building and, oh, how ugrown up we felt! In the seventh grade Ben Fischer and Myron Sanders joined the class. That was the year The 1949 Viking we were forever getting lost. Things were so different that we'd go wandering into one room only to find that we were supposed to go to another. In the eighth grade Graydon Storms joined us. Sixteen new students came into the Fresh- man class. Remember all the fun we had that year? In our Sophomore year Verndetta Larson, Levia Johnson, and Richard Wagner came to study with us. We built a huge bonfire and went to Twin Lakes on a picnic at the end of the school year. In our junior year we presented the comedy, Sing for Your Supper. On May 22, we enter- tained the Seniors with an informal banquet. The Senior year came at last. Dean Kilte joined us that year. It was full of excitement for us 44 Seniors. The ordering of an- nouncements, crowning of Queen Audrey Het- land at Homecoming, and many other memor- able events occurred. As we leave this school this year, we face a different kind of life and a different kind of world. We pray our school experience will be a great help to us in meeting the coming problems. 11
